I should correct that; the NWT Help Line is open between 7:00 to 11:00.
We do have a Suicide Prevention Strategy much like the Member described in his Member’s statement. We fund a lot of community groups to work on suicide prevention. We do capacity building. We have provided training to about 20 individuals across the NWT so that they can
strengthen their skills to work with the groups and youth to talk about the issue of suicide prevention.
When there were some teenage suicides last year, that was highly publicized. There were youth that were provided support to have discussion among youth. We do continue to fund the Dreamcatchers Conference. We get funding through the National Aboriginal Youth Suicide Prevention Strategy.
So there is multifaceted programming that’s working with the groups in the communities, especially in the youth suicide prevention.
